I am a big fan of the apex (classic) but I just cant get passed how bad the new versions look (and the Dos). So here is a quick visual history of the Aquacontrollers through the years
The Aquacontroller I - Simple and clean
(Thanks to @FDAWG for that pic)
The Aquacontroller II - Pretty good look for the time.
Aquacontroller jr: Some imrprovement, got rid of the wavy red lines but still a clean look
Aquacontroller III - Very clean, black goes with everything. Sleek look
Aquacontroller III pro - Still clean look, the colors might pop a bit for some
Apex (classic) first version - Beautiful. Very clean sleek look. Will be hard to top
Apex (classic) - They decided to bring back some funky coloring, but at least the module sizes are still sleek.
Apex jr - Looks pretty good
new Apex - I'm not sure what happened here. Product design took several steps backwards. I don't understand. They had this great modular system going for years that worked fantastic. And now they decided to make the outlet bars super bulky. Why not offer a separate 1link module like they do for everything else? And the coloring. why? who chose this color scheme? Why are all the shapes so odd and different?
